• Little House on the Prairie was an iconic television drama
  • The scenery for the show was among the most impressive in Hollywood history
  • Do you know where it was actually filmed?

Michael Landon, Karen Grassle and Melissa Gilbert stood in front of the camera for many years together. And they made for one of the most memorable partnerships in television history! Little House on the Prairie was not filmed in the Minnesota village of Walnut Grove, a village from 1871, where the author of the books on which the series is based, Laura Ingalls Wilder, spent part of her childhood.
